A Word from Frankie:
Well, Dave loves the Bears, so I'll start out with this... We all have our down falls in life! Go PACK! :) Back again to the enormous 115 Bourbon Street. The drive there was long... Like really long... Like 3 hours long... That's what happens when you miss turns. The EXCITEMENT level was HIGH, the crowd was crowd was shy, and with my new cape I could fly! Thanks to my sexy bitch pack! Our backwards speakers were rocking the walls, while the mains stood tall. The crowd noize imploded as MY performance exploded! The beer was chilled, and the fans were thrilled! This journal entry will be short, and all the Illinois ladies were looking sweet. So as MY treat, I say... FEEL my HEAT... Taking you higher, burn with me, heavens on FIRE! Thank you Illinois for a spectacular time! Hopefully we'll be back soon, and you won't have to wait in such a long line. Was it because we were playing or the Male Dancers?! AND, for all those who traveled from far away to eat some PIE, thanks for the love, I have a joyful tear in my eye. THANKS EVERYONE! LaterZ! --The Trash

howard:"Odd night, but fun...It had to be a little frustrating to be there on a Friday in the small room, but we enjoyed the "What the Hell" show! We have to find a way to fill a few Illinois bars so you get better time slots and come down on a frickin SATURDAY! Anyhow...seems like a good time for a roadtrip!"
